190 COMMITTEE’S ADDRESS. 
I.—On the Fossil Remains of Mammalia, found in the counties 
of Northumberland and Durham, by Mr. Richard Howse; read 
by the author, who illustrated his subject by a magnificent series 
of specimens of horns and bones of many of the animals he 
noticed; of these, the horns of the True Elk, or Moose, and those 
of the Great Irish Elk, excited special attentions. 
On a recent visit to Newcastle, Professor Owen stated that the 
former were the first and only proofs, he had seen of the occur-

I1.—Analysis and Description of specimens of Magnesian 
Limestone from the Trow Rocks, by Mr. Robert C. Clapham. 
A large series of observations of this description, would doubt-

IlI.—On the Preservation and Acclimatisation of Animals, 
by Mr. William Green, jun.

January, 1862. 
The attendance was large, and the chair was occupied by Dr.

the Rey. H. B. Tristram to present to Mr. H. T. Mennell, on 
behalf of the Testimonial Committee, the valuable microscope, 
which had been purchased by them for the purpose. 
Mr. Tristram said, he rose that evening with very different 
feelings from those with which he anticipated he should have had 
the pleasure of joining, not taking the lead, but taking a more 
humble part in the presentation of that testimonial to their secre- 
tary. That was the first evening meeting they had had since the 
presidential chair was vacant; and ably as it was filled by their 
senior vice-president, they could not but feel deeply the loss of 
Dr. Johnson, with whom very many of them had become ac- 
quainted through the medium of the club. His acquaintance 
with Dr. Johnson began, like that of a number of other members,
